My GPU and GFX-card are passively cooled too - no problemthere's a small piece of hardware available that reduces the fanspeed based on the temperature of the passing airflownot a good idea, since I've got a passively cooled GPU - I need the airflow-f0dder (November 30, 2006, 04:45 AM)
I think the noisiest part of my case are the two 120mm casefans - but that's a steady, low-pitch hum, so it doesn't annoy meHere's what you can do:-f0dder (November 30, 2006, 03:31 AM)
The harddrive-rotation-induced resonance is the most annoying part, since it's a "cyclic" sound.I highly suggest some decoupling device (and of course the quiet Samsung HDs), I rarely hear my HDs anymore.-f0dder (November 30, 2006, 03:31 AM)

I get lots of e-mails and most of them are not junk anymore (good anti-spam filters). However, many of them are duplicatesI'm afraid this task is far too much for a coding snack. I suggest Google Mail: when I get duplicate emails, Google Mail groups them together as one, hinting with "(n)" (where n is the number of duplicates) how many duplicates were grouped.-soulfulwriter (October 31, 2006, 08:35 AM)
What crude line-art flash game is getting more search hits on Google than Kim Jong Il? It's called Line Rider
Part Jackass stunt, part physics lesson, Line Rider encourages users to "draw" their own ramps, hills, and slopes with a pencil tool, then sends a virtual sledder (wearing a red scarf) along the route until he swoops, swerves and crashes. Build an elaborate enough course and you'll feel like a little kid playing in the snow again, zooming downhill, popping up in the air, wiping out on a ramp jump a la Evel Knievel.
Want to spend less at the pump? Lose some weight. That's the implication of a new study that says Americans are burning nearly 1 billion more gallons of gasoline each year than they did in 1960 because of their expanding waistlines. Simply put, more weight in the car means lower gas mileage.http://www.wired.com...otech/0,72013-0.html
Using recent gas prices of $2.20 a gallon, that translates to about $2.2 billion more spent on gas each year.
True! Spam is probably my #1 irritant with computers today. Not that I have to deal with a ton of it necessarily as I have decent spam filters, but I do have to review their work, and my customers complain about it a fair bit.Google Mail has optimized its filters pretty good, hardly anything is labeled wrong. I now only check the spam folder every 10 days or so, the amount of false positives is pretty damn low!-JavaJones (October 25, 2006, 12:29 PM)
It's very frustrating having to say you can't really do something about it.You just need email addresses like [email protected]-JavaJones (October 25, 2006, 12:29 PM)
